Book Description
Ian Brady and Myra Hindley's spree of torture, sexual abuse, and murder of children in the 1960s was one of the most appalling series of crimes ever committed in England, and remains almost daily fixated upon by the tabloid press. In The Gates of Janus, Ian Brady himself allows us a glimpse into the mind of a murderer as he analyzes a dozen other serial crimes and killers. Criminal profiling by a criminal was not invented by the dramatists of Dexter. Novelist and true-crime writer Colin Wilson, author of the famous and influential book The Outsider, remarks in his introduction to Brady's book that one must first explore the depraved reaches of human consciousness to truly understand human character. When first released in 2001, The Gates of Janus sparked controversy attended by a huge media splash. The new edition, the first in paperback, provides the reader with a decade and a half of updates, including Brady's letters to the publisher, both providing information regarding his own demented history along with demands that Feral House remove its unflattering afterword written by author Peter Sotos.

Book Description
Very pretty, very rich Diana Winter practically begged Casey Carmichael to find her father's murderer. A softball, like no PI ever got. Her very dumb fiance Tony Hiller had been recorded, over the phone, very much killing her father. And the fiance very conveniently confessed. Carmichael had the time and he needed the fee. The client wore big pleading eyes, had a ton of money and needed all the reassurance Carmichael could manage. Throw in Janice Simmons, a stunning reporter hot on the case, if he needed more convincing. All he had to do was go through the motions, check the octave of the recorded confession, go to the nearest bank and cash in on Diana's guilt. So, Carmichael did all the above. It went great. Diana didn't hate him much. Shrink-drugged Tony didn't much care. Janice? She wasn't much sure. But still, nice job. Only, a couple stray observations... okay, call them clues... bugged him. If errant clues meant anything at all, Carmichael had completely blown it, misreading one murder and leaving a two-faced killer free to kill some more."

Book Description
The fates of universes aren’t the only things time travel can impact. Sometimes the effect is a lot more mundane and closer to home. And when that happens, it’s up to the cops of Themis Division to make time turn out right. It was supposed to be a routine trip for the members of the Gordian Division, both human and AI: fly out to Saturn, inspect the construction of their latest time machines, then fly back. But when the division’s top scientist and chief engineer are killed in the same freak accident, suspicions of foul play run deep. Detective Isaac Cho is sent in to investigate, but he has more on his mind than just a new case. His superiors have saddled him with an exchange officer from the neighboring Admin—Special Agent Susan Cantrell—whose notion of proper “law enforcement” involves blowing up criminals first and skipping questions entirely. Despite his objections, Cho is stuck with an untested partner on a case that increasingly reeks of murder and conspiracy. The unlikely pair must work together to unravel this mystery, and soon they discover their unique combination of skills might just provide the edge they need. But nothing is ever simple where the Gordian Division is involved. Not even time itself. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
